5 things we learned talking with Iggy Azalea

So we've all at least heard of Iggy Azalea by now, right? You know, the gorgeous Aussie rapper who's on two of the biggest songs in the country right now (Fancy, with Charli XCX, and Ariana Grande's Problem)? Well, here are five things we learned about the 23-year-old newcomer (born Amethyst Amelia Kelly) when she spoke with USA TODAY:

The last movie she really enjoyed was 'Frozen.' "That's so awful of me to say, I'm a grown-up, but I just love that (expletive) snowman (Olaf, voiced by Josh Gad). He's so likable."

She gets funny drawings from fans. "One of my favorites is a portrait of me with Tupac (Shakur) and we're giving each other a kiss," Azalea says. "I have another one where I have bunny fur and it's like a children's drawing of me as Lola Bunny from Looney Tunes."

It's not her "first rodeo" with prying media. Even before her breakout success this year, "I felt there was an abnormal amount of interest in who I was having sex with, unfortunately," Azalea says, referring to her relationship with her ex A$AP Rocky. Although she and current boyfriend Nick Young (of the Los Angeles Lakers) don't usually mind the attention, "some days it can be a bit of a nuisance if I am trying to promote my album or music, and people just want to know about me and Nick so much."

She loves 'Clueless' as much as you do. "I watched it over and over and over again growing up," Azalea says of the 1995 comedy she pays homage to in her Fancy video. "I just always liked the storyline and loved the fashion. I love to dress very colorful and wacky like they do in Clueless in my regular life. I'm always just in that film."

Her first job wasn't all good. She got her first after-school job at a knickknack store selling incense, hemp clothing and crystal rocks to tourists. She also cleaned vacation rentals, sometimes finding wallets that guests would leave behind after checking out. Although she would always turn them in to her manager, "they have a period after 90 days if no one claims it, they let you keep the wallet and the money that was in it," Azalea says. Unsurprisingly, the worst part of the gig was "cleaning other people's vomit hours later."
